a long time with no peace or justice

Today marks the 9th anniversary of the day an Israeli soldier operating a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer crushed Rachael Corrie under its blade... read the days post by the Rachael Corrie Foundation, an organization established to keep her dream alive for a free and peaceful Palestine.

Sorry San Francisco

There is a movement to take down the dam and restore Hetchy Hetchy... San Francisco stole ot on 1912 from Yosemite National Park, now is the time to give it back... time for San Francisco and the other people who benefit from Hetchy Hetchy to start conservation and either give up the dam or find a few billion dollars to establish a much larger national park as payment for what you stole.

want to read something scary???

It seems that late yesterday the White House let loose with a whole bunch of executive orders and one of those needs to go viral and be read for all those who care where this country is going... 

Read this... and share it everywhere... it reads like something from a dystopian novel. The government just established complete control of everything. I mean everything, including people. It is all spelled out. What do you think?

more scary...

Strange thing just happened... when I went to post to Dreamwidth I had to re-log in. Maybe it has to do with what I wrote about earlier and what I may have said earlier  today on FaceBook. Oh well, the watchers are watching. I'm just small fry, but if I should disappear, be aware.

Now to the topic at hand.

Read this article. It may disappear soon.. It has 'too much' information in it.  One step closer to the Orwellian world of 1984.  Be aware, be vigilant.

EDIT:

More info has come int the light... and it gets much more Orwellian.

to the more mundane aspects of life...

Today winter came back to remind us that it was still in charge. We had rain earlier, then added very high winds (50 mph +). Now we have a blanket of white and it is about 20 degrees outside. Inside, I have the wood fire going, I'm eating my newly made bean soup (ten bean with ham and stock I made earlier by boiling a ham shank), and all is right in my world.

Gentrification in Venice

I like Venice Beach, I like it as it is. Now there is a movement to change all that. Venice is a prize. Listen to this broadcast about Venice. There is a fight, and are we going to sell Venice to the highest bidder? Posted on Dreamwidth
